THE EARTH AND SKY

 

The earth and sky are

Separate and opposite

Complimenting each other

And are nature in balance

They are two adequate halves

Making one perfect whole

But the most perfect part

Is where they touch on the horizon

But the zenith of their union

Is the perfection of the sunset

Which is where it began for us

I am the earth, you are the sky

We were separate and opposite

And complement each other

And are nature in balance

We are two adequate halves

Making one perfect whole

And we enjoy the sunset embrace

Where the earth touches the sky

LOOKING DEEPLY INTO

 Looking deeply into

Your betrayer’s eyes

Is like gazing at a wall

The love you feel

Is a wasted love

And is absorbed

Instead of being

Reflected back to you

So what you give

Is unrequited

And all that you receive

Is disappointment

FOR A SOULMATE

Looking deeply into

Your soulmates eyes

Is like gazing in a mirror

The love you see

Is the love you get

Because what you feel

Is reflected back to you

So what you give

Is what you will receive

CHURCH BELLS PEEL OUT

 

Church bells peel out

Loud and proud

A blissful summer call

To the celebratory crowd

As bride and groom emerge

Into a confetti cloud

After standing at the altar

And solemnly avowed

I SPIED HER AT THE FESTIVAL

 

I spied her at the local festival

Dancing geekily with friends

But I detected no “special friend”

So I drifted slowly in her direction

She was a year or two older than I

I was still a teen, only just a teen

But a teenager still nonetheless

So our footsteps danced together

Toe to toe only seeing each other

Our bodies whispered wanton desire

So we took a walk to quench the fire

It was a geeky girl that I first saw

Dancing in the festival sunlight

But it was a women I walked home

That night in the moonlight

FATIGUE ENGULFS HER IN A PRELUDE SLEEP

 

Fatigue engulfs her in a prelude to sleep

She resists but finally must accept defeat

The moment she surrenders she finds

The familiar dreams invading her mind

Hands gently caress her every curve

Arousing sensation tingles every nerve

Every sinuous fibre of her sensuous being

Is aroused by the images she is seeing           

As the erotic pleasure mounts she succumbs

And in the solitude of her bed she comes

LOOSENING THE MOORINGS

 

Loosening the moorings

Our souls took flight

As we drifted on the streams

In a dream of moonlight
